A truckie plays tooth fairy.
A dead man finally finds headache relief. A young girl watches her Fiji crumble.
One horse receives a letter and another teaches a valuable lesson.
Hot off the press, Lost and found: Visible Ink 21 is coming to a bookstore near you. But first we’d like you to come to the launch at The Empress on Monday 9 November – from 7pm. Come and help us celebrate and get in early to grab a copy. There will be author readings — Allyson Hose, Moreno Giovannoni, Simon McInerney and Lu Sexton — music from Greer Turner (Modular Lounge) and Imogen Halstead (Indigo Hotel) — and gushing editorials.
that’s right RYB is back with another night at the Empress with more special guest readers Lisa Dempster (Neon Pilgrim), Sian Prior (Age, Meanjin, SMH); more music (Imogen Halstead) and cake raffles: we’ve just gone to the printers this week but we haven’t paid the bill yet… Come and support us before we launch in November
This year to coincide with the 21st anniversary of Prof Writing & Editing at RMIT, our friends at the RMIT Student Consultative Committee are putting on a fundraiser for the ‘Visible Ink 21st anniversary anthology’ … not to be confused with Visible Ink 2009 (ed.21) …
Please come and support them at the Nova on 8 October — it’s a worthy cause — and one Melbourne owes a big chunk of its literary culture to. Pre-booked tickets would be appreciated. See you there!
Thanks to all our readers and performers at ReadYouBastards2——it’s getting bigger and better all the time——a special thanks to guests David Astle, Emily Ulman and Ania Walwicz—thanks again to the Empress——congratulations all you cake winners you, our baking hands are getting itchy just thinking about RYB3: 22 Oct same RYB time same RYB place.
